Sending email problems: Relay access denied

[jaffaizal]

Falko,

Just did as requested. Redo the 'Postfix/saslauthd' configuration from "Perfect Setup".

Still having the same problem:
================================================== ========
Sending failed:
Authentication failed.
Most likely the password is wrong.
The server responded: "Error: authentication failed"
The message will stay in the 'outbox' folder until you either fix the problem (e.g. a broken address) or remove the message from the 'outbox' folder.
The following transport protocol was used:
PLANIMA
================================================== ========
I'm really stucked! HELP

I've never seen an error like this before. When you followed the tutorial, did you copy & paste the commands? Maybe you have a typo somewhere...

Falko,

This is what I did (executed each line one-by-one):
=====================

apt-get install cyrus-sasl cyrus-sasl-crammd5 cyrus-sasl-devel cyrus-sasl-digestmd5 cyrus-sasl-gssapi cyrus-sasl-otp cyrus-sasl-plain cyrus-sasl-saslauthd

chkconfig --add saslauthd

/etc/init.d/saslauthd start

mkdir /etc/postfix/ssl

cd /etc/postfix/ssl/

openssl genrsa -des3 -rand /etc/hosts -out smtpd.key 1024

chmod 600 smtpd.key

openssl req -new -key smtpd.key -out smtpd.csr

openssl x509 -req -days 3650 -in smtpd.csr -signkey smtpd.key -out smtpd.crt

openssl rsa -in smtpd.key -out smtpd.key.unencrypted

mv -f smtpd.key.unencrypted smtpd.key

openssl req -new -x509 -extensions v3_ca -keyout cakey.pem -out cacert.pem -days 3650

postconf -e 'mydomain = mileswork.com'

postconf -e 'myhostname = suse1.$mydomain'

postconf -e 'smtpd_sasl_local_domain ='

postconf -e 'smtpd_sasl_auth_enable = yes'

postconf -e 'smtpd_sasl_security_options = noanonymous'

postconf -e 'broken_sasl_auth_clients = yes'

postconf -e 'smtpd_recipient_restrictions = permit_sasl_authenticated,permit_mynetworks,check_ relay_domains'

postconf -e 'inet_interfaces = all'

postconf -e 'alias_maps = hash:/etc/aliases'

postconf -e 'smtpd_tls_auth_only = no'

postconf -e 'smtp_use_tls = yes'

postconf -e 'smtpd_use_tls = yes'

postconf -e 'smtp_tls_note_starttls_offer = yes'

postconf -e 'smtpd_tls_key_file = /etc/postfix/ssl/smtpd.key'

postconf -e 'smtpd_tls_cert_file = /etc/postfix/ssl/smtpd.crt'

postconf -e 'smtpd_tls_CAfile = /etc/postfix/ssl/cacert.pem'

postconf -e 'smtpd_tls_loglevel = 1'

postconf -e 'smtpd_tls_received_header = yes'

postconf -e 'smtpd_tls_session_cache_timeout = 3600s'

postconf -e 'tls_random_source = dev:/dev/urandom'

=====================

After restarting postfix and
telnet localhost 25 and
ehlo localhost,
this is what I get:
=====================

suse1:~ # telnet localhost 25
Trying 127.0.0.1...
Connected to localhost.
Escape character is '^]'.
220 suse1.mileswork.com ESMTP Postfix
ehlo localhost
250-suse1.mileswork.com
250-PIPELINING
250-SIZE 10240000
250-VRFY
250-ETRN
250-STARTTLS
250-AUTH LOGIN PLAIN
250-AUTH=LOGIN PLAIN
250 8BITMIME

=====================

BTW, in ISPConfig.

1. Management TAB/Server/Settings:
Server Name : Suse1
Hostname : suse1
Domain : mileswork.com

And, in KMail. SMTP settings tabs.

1. Is it Port 25?
2. Server requires authentication selected. Used the same Login/Password as for POP setting.
3. Under the Security Tabs - Encryption = NONE, Authentication Method = LOGIN.
4. In the Sending Tab, do I set, Message Property = "Allow 8-bit" OR "MIME Compliant (Quoted Printable)"?

Is the above settings in KMail correct?

Thanks

Should work like that.

Don't know about this one as I don't use KMail, but I don't think it has something to do with your problem.

[jaffaizal]

What about the installation steps? Are they correct? Else... how else can I check to rectify my problems. OR is there a possibility of you logging into my system?

My clients using Outlook Express/Outlook is also experiencing the same problem I am experiencing.

BTW, GMAIL set to port 465. Do I set to port 465 as well?

Falko... appreciate your help. I do not want to jump onto another platform to manage my hosting.

Thanks.

This:

postconf -e 'smtpd_recipient_restrictions = permit_sasl_authenticated,permit_mynetworks,check_ relay_domains'

should be

postconf -e 'smtpd_recipient_restrictions = permit_sasl_authenticated,permit_mynetworks,check_relay_domains'

We would have to charge you for that kind of support: http://www.ispconfig.org/support.htm
